At Blue Sky Café & Taproom, we take craft beer freshness seriously, ensuring you enjoy every sip as the brewer intended. 🍺✨

Here's why cold storage matters:

* Beer is alive: It’s sensitive to temperature and oxygen, both of which can dull flavors and even cause cans to burst if stored improperly.

* Hops are delicate: Heat exposure degrades those amazing aromas and flavors we all love in hoppy beers.

* Oxidation ruins beer: Like a browning apple, beer can turn musty and unpleasant when exposed to oxygen.

* Hop creep explained: This natural process in heavily-hopped beers can lead to increased pressure in cans, sometimes causing them to burst if stored too warm.

That’s why we prioritize cold storage and recommend storing your beer in the fridge to keep it as fresh as it was straight from the tank. Cheers to great beer, every time! 🍻

🌞 Sours are made for sunny days! 🌞

CEREAL SPOONER RED BERRY
We’ve taken inspiration from the sweet milk at the bottom of your bowl for our latest release. Paired with fresh Scottish strawberries and raspberries, with an outrageously creamy, milky mouthfeel - this is nostalgia by the bowlful.

BLOOD ORANGE RASPBERRY
Combining the zesty brightness of blood orange with the juicy sweetness of ripe raspberries, this ultra-refreshing mixed fermentation sour beer delivers a perfect balance of tart and sweet with a crisp, tangy finish. 

P.O.G (PASSION FRUIT ORANGE GUAVA) PUNCH
P.O.G combines tart passion fruit, zesty orange and juicy guava with our mixed fermentation base beer to create the ultimate tropical sour. Expect sunshine in a can & paradise in your hand, with huge aromas and juicy flavours of our three favourite fruits.

A WALKING STUDY IN DEMONOLOGY, BLOOD ORANGE & TONKA MAPLE PANCAKE STACK BARLEYWINE - VAULT CITY X LOW KEY
We’ve paired traditional malt flavours and soft English hops with a bold blend of blood orange zest, sweet maple syrup, brown sugar and spicy tonka beans (obviously). The rich and complex grain bill of Pale, Special B, Amber, Light Crystal and Cara Gold malt creates layers of caramel, raisins and biscuit with a bright, smooth finish. 

COCONUT CONCRETE JUNGLE JUICE, TROPICAL MEDLEY
Our blend of exotic fruit pairs Alphonso mango, guava, and pineapple with creamy coconut for a modern sour beer that’s rich, thick, and juicy. 

WHITE CHOCOLATE CHERRY CHEESECAKE DOUBLE SCOOP
Mountains of sweet cherry and luscious white chocolate pair perfectly with a double helping of smooth vanilla ice cream topped off with a biscuity, cheesecake finish.

BLOOD ORANGE RASPBERRY

This is our 1st India Whiskey - Indri Trini Three Wood

As you might have guessed from the name, three casks helped create this cracker, first-fill bourbon, ex-French Wine, and Pedro Ximénez sherry, a complex blend. But aided by maturation in an extreme climate on the foothills of the Himalayas, each does its bit, bringing its signature flavour to the fore.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose Tinned peaches, golden syrup, aromatic oak, and baking spice.

Palate Creamy and fruity, with pineapple, apricot yogurt, and lychee among nutmeg and toasted almonds.

Finish Tropical fruit and caramel lingers with pepper and cinnamon.

Multiple Award Winning Forest London Dry Gin

Forest Distillery London Dry Gin - The only gin to win two separate double-gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirit Awards in the same year. Selected as one of the Worlds Best 50 Gins.

Our Award winning Forest London Gin is distilled by our family in the heart of the Macclesfield Forest. Made in batches of 85 bottles at a time each bottle containing only the finest botanicals and water from our distillery spring. Each bottle contains these key elements:

SOURCED
Organic Juniper Berries
Organic Coriander Seeds
Superior quality Vanilla pods, Liquorice root, Angelica and others

FORAGED
Wild Bilberries, Raspberries & Blackberries
Peak District Moss & Ferns
A sprinkling of wild flowers, spruce & pine

WATER
The softest Forest Spring Water
From our distillery spring 1,200 ft above sea level
An ancient spring in the Peak District
Blended to 42% abv

These ingredients are ground by hand using a pestle & mortar, before being distilled by us here in Cheshire. The alcohol vapour and the flavoursome oils from the botanicals reach our copper condenser, where they are immediately cooled. This fragrant spirit is then blended with our spring water to create unfiltered London Dry Gin of the very highest quality.

Nose: Fresh, green, forest pines

Palette: Initial hit of juniper, with fresh ferns and sweet berries

Finish: Long, deep and earthy from the Peak District moss.

The Lustau edition from Redbreast highlights the use of sherry casks on the Irish spirit. This was finished in first-fill oloroso-sherry butts for a year, resulting in a creamy whisky with notes of liquorice, marzipan and dark fruits.

Nose
Rich infusion of dark fruits, prunes, dates and figs with liquorice, marzipan, toasted oak and Redbreast spices

Taste
Creamy pot still with Redbreast spices balanced with richness of sherry finish and contribution of fresh Spanish oak.

Finish
Endless. Sweetness and pot-still spices endure while oloroso sherry and Spanish oak have the last word.
